The United States currently has more than 31000 square miles of
asphalt road exposed to the sun, if the asphalt roads are covered with solar
panels if one mile road can produce enough energy for 80 homes. Not only that,
on the road laying solar panels in a solar power generator will be able to LED power supply lanes on both sides of the
road marking, allows the driver to travel to some key sections to achieve
reminder, obviously compared to the traditional signs more eye-catching.

The future of electric cars will be more and more, and if you
want to install charging piles to meet the energy needs of electric vehicles is
not only a huge project, but also very cost resources. So if the
electromagnetic circuit is integrated into a solar road, we can realize the
inexhaustible power resources, so that the electric vehicle charging at any
time. At present, the technology has entered the stage of looking for partners,
will soon become a reality.

For intelligent highway, intelligent transportation system is a
very important part, it can cope with the challenges of the future will face
some traffic, such as strengthening the communication between the automatic
driving car, reduce the occurrence of collision accidents. And if the
integration of sensors and wireless communication devices in the road, you can
enhance the stability of the communication between the car and the owner, to
prevent the occurrence of traffic accidents, optimize traffic flow are very
active. In the future on the future of smart roads, we can not only drive
faster and more secure.

According to experts, the development of solar road was
originally made by the United States, a Green Energy Corporation called the
road of solar energy. They developed solar panels like floor tiles, with a
length of 30 cm square. The cost of each solar panel is $7000, 7.6 degrees per
day.

The solar panels can be laid on urban roads and sidewalks, and
can be laid on the outskirts of the highway, the wire buried under the solar
panels. After a solar panel laying, and high strength polymer transparent
plastic plate laid on it. The solar panel is important part in the solar generator.

The transparency of these plastic panels is very high, so that
the sun can be fully irradiated solar panels. The plastic sheets are very firm,
and they are not very smooth, so they can ensure that the car is fast and not
slippery. In the rainy day, the special structure can let the rain water
quickly, but not because of the water and affect the car and pedestrian travel.

In addition, the road is also installed with a number of
light-emitting diodes, can be on a cloudy day or night light from the road
signs. The road there are some electric heating with solar heating in very
cold, effective decicing or snow.

The idea of "solar energy" originally came from a
girl named JulieBrusaw. Love fantasy of her sudden brain hole in 2006, she was
thinking if the United States more than 75 thousand square kilometers of road
all replaced by solar photovoltaic panels, so it is not only a lot of power to
make a lot of!" As an engineer, her husband, ScottBrusaw, had been
inspired by his wife's advice. He integrated many aspects of the information,
began his own research and development plans. Not long after, one was named
"SolarRoadway" of the occlusal hexagonal steel glass panel came out.

SolarRoadway, which is made of a hexagonal toughened glass
panel with each other, is embedded with photovoltaic panels, which can be used
for solar power generation, and the panels are mainly laid in the road and
parking lots.

There are several layers below each of
the hexagonal tempered glass, and from top to bottom:

First floor, tempered glass

Second layer, LED luminous indicator
layer

Third layer, circuit layer

The fourth layer, based on the basic
level of recycled materials

The following is the flood and water
layer

The advantage of this design is that the first is the solar
power, needless to say, in short You'll see. throughout the United States as
long as the completion of 1/3 pavement, can meet the electricity needs of the
United States, at the same time can greatly reduce carbon emissions.

Finally, had to say that the "floor" is
revolutionary! Because there are super durable glass on each floor, each
photovoltaic plate with LED light, it will make the traffic information and
instructions are displayed directly on the road; imagine driving down the
pressure on the display of feeling bad. About the rain and snow weather, solar
power storage device can be heated like a solar backup generator, the snow melting quickly, also worried that because of the
heavy snow to travel?

It is reported that the U.S. Department of transportation is
planning to take the "Mother Road" 66 road upgrade for solar energy.

Summary:

With the continuous development of the technology of car
unmanned, the future, the construction of unmanned highway will be a trend, the
application of smart sensors, will make intelligent highway more intelligent.
China's highway construction enterprises must keep abreast of the development
of the times, the development of machinery and equipment to meet the needs of
the future road construction, in the smart road construction to play the
greatest benefits.
